silly random moments

i've just returned from an interview at ICA HQ for the position as an HAS-ICA Specialist. you'll usually see these uniformed officers manning immigration counters. they're the ones who'll facilitate the movement of visitors in and out of Singapore from the various immigration checkpoints across the country. well, they do have other responsibilities as immigration officers but i'll leave it at that.

i was actually psyched for the interview. i read through their website, prepared answers for the normal questions they would ask and prepared some questions that i would like to ask them in return. i reviewed the questions and answers over and over in my head until it was my turn for the interview.

i totally didn't expect more than 3 officers to be interviewing me so naturally i was a bit shocked to see 4 people waiting for me, instantly my knees went weak and all the hard work i put into memorising all the words i wanted to say just came crashing out of my head. like, just 'whoosh!'. completely gone in an instant. so did my confidence. boy, was i nervous. thankfully the interview went pretty well. the interviewers were pretty amicable, cracking a joke a couple times. the only concern they had was of me being pretty small and soft-spoken.

anyways i seriously hope that i get a callback, at least i can prove to them that i'm capable of handling the responsibilities of being an immigration officer.

on a lighter note,
this, incident or maybe this thing happened a few days ago while i was talking to sister. we were talking about a lot of stuff when i suddenly commented that i wanted to go to the Reggae festival, which is happening soon, i think. not sure of the date as of yet. sister also commented that she wanted to go too but the date of the festival will be clashing with her 'O's. after that, she screamed. the sort that made you itch to slap her face and it was pretty high-pitched too. however, instead of slapping her in the face, like she deserves, i laughed. laughed so hard that i couldn't breathe properly. well, you may not find it funny just by reading this post but the total randomness of her reaction made me laugh.

well, i'm done for the day.
